Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 19% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (27% vs 19%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 40% to 45% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 18% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. ROE powered by fat margins — the hallmark of a high-quality franchise with pricing power. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 6pp across the window.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 27% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
Operating cash flow has been positive every year — the business generates real cash, not just accounting profit. Financing outflows in consecutive years — balance-sheet discipline through debt repayment or dividends.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 42% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (30% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 13% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 119% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (29% → 40%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
FIIs have accumulated for 3 straight quarters — sustained foreign institutional conviction. MF holding up 2.1pp — domestic institutional discovery underway.
